Net income for the year $ 15,200

Explanation:

We need to make a schedule of changes in Capital to arrive at the net income.

Opening Balance Capital $ 25,000

Add: Investments during the year $ 53,000

Less: Withdrawals during the year ($ 28,350)

Ending balance after movements $49,650

The net income for the year adds ro the Capital Account, so since the given Capital account balance on December 31 is $ 64,850, the balancing figure between the year end balance and the adjusted balance in the capital account represents the net income for the year.

Ending balance Capital account - Adjusted opening balance = Net Income for the year

$ 64,850 - $ 49,650 = $ 15,200 equals net income for the year
